I'm waiting to see what I think is going to be a TRU exclusive prime with trailer to hit.

Anyone else think this looks like a poorly thought out remake of the back end of G1 Motormaster?

I guess it's a good thing that many unenlightened parents are willing to throw an obscene amount of money towards making their rug-rats happy because Primus knows Hasbro has lost a majority share of the traditional adult fan-base on this line.
I can understand "Dumbbing-down" a toy line for the youngsters but they've long passed that stage and straight up put a bullet in the brain-pan of this movie line. #-o

I agree with you, and I am happy to see I am not alone here (I might have spent 10 times what you did in cyberverse/legends/legion/or_whatever_you_wanna_call_it due to special/exclusive/takara/limited editions since the first movie)... The only figures I will be getting for this movie are:

or any other redeco on cyberverse... The new direction on harbro toys is pure garbage, I pass as well. :CON:

Abomination? No, I disagree wholeheartedly there. The Cyberverse line was fun, but ultimately it was replaced because Hasbro realized they were inadequate for reaching out to a younger demographic. Transformers have become exceedingly overcomplicated over the years, and this is just another effort by Hasbro to simplify transformations for smaller children (like ROTF's FABs or Animated Activators). Only difference now is that these seem more like regular action figures, unlike Cyberverse, which were always meant to be mini-figs.

Because playsets and bases with launching missiles and pew pew sounds was for us?

I'll say it again, it depends entirely on the kid. My younger cousin (age 7) breezes through leader starscream, and all my constructicons. He can't get sentinel's panel's right though.

Theres no reason these one step things can't be a subline, with cyberverse still intact. When I think 'action figure' in the very least I expect GI-Joe quality. These don't even look to have that. though Ill admit Prime and Hound look ok-ish.

As far as I'm concerned, it's all for me. Just me. :KREMZEEK:

Shelf space is a premium that Hasbro has to both pay and compete for. As much as I hate to see it go, too, there is a trade off that had to happen somewhere. Between Dino riders, hero mashers, and these simplified transformers, something had to go away to make room for the new lines.

Again Hasbro, don't mess with my Legion/Legend/Cyberverse line. Again, no reasons to let go of this line!!! I've visited over 12 targets, 3 toys r us, 5 walmart and including Superstores and those 1 Step changers and Sparklers are shelf warmers. If they were stocked @$5.99 each with mini cyberverse figs, many of us would have gotta the sub line and complete it and as for myself I usually purchase double! On top if that I purchase less important figures such as Cyberverse Crowbar to build up the Con Army. Yes on DOTM Cyberverse and Prime sets alone I spent over $500. Not counting the first few figs from previous movies and Legends. So give us back the Cyberverse/Legend/Legion line!

I swear, every time Hasbro tries something new it's the same old ****:

THEY'VE BEEN OUT FOR 2 WEEKS WITHOUT FLYING OFF SHELVES, THEY'RE SHELFWARMING

A DECADES-OLD TOY COMPANY DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE AND SELL TOYS

A FRANCHISE THAT IS LITERALLY ABOUT CHANGE IS CHANGING AND I HATE IT



Everybody complained about cyberverse when that started and now they're complaining that it's gone. This fandom is terrible.

The One-Step Changers are only shelfwarming because the movie isn't out yet. As soon as AOE is in theatres, those things will likely vanish from store shelves.

Yeah, everyone's britches getting into a bundle in this thread. :P

And the fact that virtually no one is even talking about the figure that is the main topic of this thread (a figure I say looks interesting but not one that I need).

Oh yeah, there's an Optimus with a trailer! Looks fun. Totally don't need it though, but it would make for a great impulse buy.

Like I said, I'm waiting to see what the other prime with trailer looks like that's supposed to be coming out later this year. It looks to have a complete trailer but lord, the price shows $159.99 Better be a REALLY nice trailer!

Here's a couple pics of it in the toysrus system.

As a simplified toy for small children, this thing kicks major a**. I'll likely be importing two of these: One for my 7-year old sister, and one for my rapidly growing "Stuff I Won't Admit To Owning" collection.
Also, do we have any evidence that this Prime will work with Chomp and Stomp Grimlock? :-?
